Inglourious Basterds (soundtrack)


Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds: Motion Picture Soundtrack is the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's motion picture Inglourious Basterds. It was originally released on August 18, 2009. The soundtrack uses a variety of music genres, including spaghetti western soundtrack excerpts, R&B and a David Bowie song from the 1982 remake of Cat People. "The Man with the Big Sombrero", a song from the 1943 screwball comedy Hi Diddle Diddle, was rerecorded in French for the movie. This is the first soundtrack for a Quentin Tarantino film not to feature dialogue excerpts. The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, but lost to the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.

    Promotional video

A music video for the French-language version of "The Man with the Big Sombrero" was directed by Meiert Avis. Using the scene of the movie Hi Diddle Diddle where the song was originally performed by June Havoc, singer Samantha Shelton was digitally inserted into the scene, carefully mimicking the exact choreography done by Havoc in the previous film.
